"History of soul music, told in profiles. I read this is as young man really trying to understand what journalism and history meant. Spent a lot of time meditating on Sam and Dave after this one."

"I know, I know, it’s made it onto a lot of lists. But there’s simply no substitute for this model of lucidity and complexity, the virtues of thinking out loud, and ethical, literary and autobiographical inquiry."

Book Favorite

"Aldous Huxley Complete Essays, volume VI, 1956-1963. Huxley was a lot more than just Brave New World and The Doors Of Perception. He got better as he got older. His lectures on transcendence are sublime."

"Really like this record. Ambient, electronic, but also very musical. I listened to this track a lot while I was over in L.A. at the end of 2017 shooting the cover photo for my new album."

I enjoyed book one of the graphic novel, Middlewest. It was pretty imaginative, and I loved the illustrator's work. The story needs a lot more added to it, but book one is a great start.

Rolling Stone's 289th greatest album of all time (478th in the 2020 list)
Decent Merseybeat album by the Kinks, though there is a lot of samey material to get through before the joy of Waterloo Sunset.

Last man standing
A pretty decent if violent action film with backing from the WWE. Featuring Steve Austin and a few other faces from the wrestling scene. The story is pretty good, although it starts to get a bit repetitive as it goes on. Reminded me slightly of the @The Running Man (1987) and Battle Royale. Overall a lot better than I expected and Vinnie Jones is good as the bad guy, as always.

Joe, should you love him or should you fear him? That is what Beck has to decide in this awesome thriller. Who know a trip into a local bookstore would change both of their lives forever? She is a writer, he is a book lover, what could go wrong? A lot! This book has a lot of twists and turns and you won't know who you love, who you fear, who you hate, or what you feel in general. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Hailee Steinfield
A great entry to the Transformers franchise
I didn't check reviews before seeing this after the last 2 Transformers films got panned. So it was an even more pleasant surprise how much fun this was. A lot more in tune with the first Transformers film. I like the fact the Transformers looked a lot more like the animated and toy versions of the 80's. Another good performance from Hailee Steinfield and a great 80's soundtrack made this a blast!
